A friend and I were making images in and around MIT last month when we spotted a sculpture of a man made all from symbols. It was the Alchemist (see below). As you can tell, we had a bit of fun with this.
Alchemist is related to Jauma Plensa’s other works, Nomade (2010) and El Alma Del Ebro (2010), which are made of randomly arranged stainless steel letters of the alphabet, painted white and arranged in the shape of a person sitting with knees drawn up to the chest. However, in the place of letters of the alphabet, Plensa’s work for MIT is created from numeric symbols, as an “homage to all the researchers and scientists“ that have contributed to scientific and mathematical knowledge.

Neat.
Thank you so much. Cheers
Love these! Have seen one in Houston with numbers.
It is really striking and looks so different in the daylight. Thank you. Cheers
A unique artistic way of creating sculpture with messages. I like your angles on them.
We made so many images from various angles. I’m glad you liked these. Thank you. Cheers
An amazing art of a man sitting on his knees which is made from numbers.👌
It is an amazing piece of art. Thank you. Cheers!!!
Yes,amazing one👌
So creative! Art meets science meets math meets.. you!
Yes! It is an amazing piece of art. I think it’s best seen at night. Cheers!
Oh those boffins at MIT 😉 Great captures, Senor Calle.
